[PATCH 1/2] ppp: define reusable device creation functions

[Guillaume Nault <g.nault@alphalink.fr>]

Move PPP device initialisation and registration out of
ppp_create_interface().
This prepares code for device registration with rtnetlink.

While there, cleanup ppp_create_interface() prototype to return an
error code rather than the ppp structure. The unit parameter is now
read/write so that caller can retrieve the unit identifier without
accessing the new ppp structure.
